Qobuz Hi Res Offers
Posted by: Camlan on 12 July 2014
Just a heads up for some pretty good offers on HiRes on the Qobuz site at the moment. The Doors, Grateful Dead, The Smiths, Joni Mitchell and more.
At this rate, I will lose interest in the long running HDTracks in the UK saga, I find the Qobuz download process much better as well.
One of the crappiest sites I've ever come across.
Why?
I think Qobuz is an excellent site.
Downloaded 5 or 6 albums from there in the past week.
Unfortunately, however, I don't seem to be able to download any items in the current offer, even though they sent me an email with details of the offer.
I am getting a 'Not available for download in your country message' for all of the downloads on promo in the offer.
Camlan, have you ben able to download any of them?
It's really annoying. I had browsed through the lot and was going to download 6 or 7.

What you need to do is email them (customer contact button at the bottom of the main page) and ask them to lift the restriction. They did it in less than 5 minutes for me.
Thanks Camlan,
Just tried that & will try again shortly. Strange that my problems seem to be intermittent. The only problems I have had are with this promo and with an attempt a few weeks ago to downlowd the London Grammar album..
You should get an email back confirming they have lifted the restriction.
Even stranger. I have had an e-mail back, but I'm afraid my French isn't up to a translation. I suspect it's just an acknowledgement of my email - nothing more.
However, when I use the link to the promo sent to me by email earlier, I now get a 'No results from your search' message, and the albums I could view earlier don't seem to be there.
Are you still able to link to the promo downloads?
Yes I've just got that too but if you search the artist you want to download then the 'promo' albums are there and available.
If you want to copy the text of the email I should be able to decipher it.
hdtracks usd 24.98

Thanks Camlan,
As you suggested was able to search for my albums and they were still on special offer, so was busy triggering a download of 4 albums just in case the promo offer on any of them disappears.
Thanks again.
Erich - possibly roughly the same price, but if you live in the UK like me, downloads from HD Tracks no longer work - without going to the problem of using a proxy of some sort.
Not if you had bought it for 9.98 eur on offer last week.
Yes - I picked it up for that price as well.
